Hey guys! it's hopboy, and I collect and listen to everything Mountain & Leslie West, especially "LIVE recordings" and I watch any Mountain DVDs I can find ... etc. I personally like "the old stuff" when Leslie just played the Les Paul Jr. really loud - straight through his amps like the Marshalls and Stramp amps (etc.) he used to use, without any effects, but "everything must change" or you get stuck in one place, I guess. He's still my favorite guitarist. take care all
